TYPICAL DAY ON SAFARI AT LEOPARD MOUNTAIN

Waking to the morning calls of the birds in the riverbed below your suite, the day begins with a select cup of coffee and some traditional rusks before embarking on your early morning safari with your guide.

On return to the lodge, an enticing breakfast awaits you in the dining room. Thereafter you can enjoy a leisurely morning at your own pace or you can take some quality time for yourself and be pampered at our Africology Spa for an hour or two.

At lunchtime, you can enjoy a light picnic basket lunch around the bird pond, on the main lodge deck or simply relax on your private balcony.

In the afternoon, you will be invited to come and enjoy afternoon tea on the main deck as you overlook the distant Lebombo Mountain Range. Afterwards, you will go with your guide to explore some different areas of the reserve on your afternoon drive and will be treated to a magnificent African sunset to remember. On return to the lodge, you will have the opportunity to freshen up before having dinner in our ‘million stars’ boma where you will be treated to an exquisite African inspired meal and can pair it with one of our award-winning wines from our cellar.

As the day comes to an end, you can sit around the bonfire and share the exciting stories of the days’ wildlife encounters with the other guests or retire to your suite to enjoy a sherry on your deck and listen as Africa's night chorus unfolds with distant lion roars, hyenas whooping, or baboons barking at lurking Leopards in the river bed below.

CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES / VISIT TO RHINO ORPHANAGE

As one of the founders of the Manyoni Private Game Reserve, we are acutely aware that Communities and Conservation are inextricably linked.

Leopard Mountain supports two great causes, the first being the Zululand Rhino Orphanage. This is a fantastic initiative which aims at rescuing and rehabilitating baby rhino when their mothers have passed away either from poaching or natural causes. So far they have an excellent track record with a good number of reintroductions back to the wild.

The second being the Zululand Conservation Trust which aims to support both Local Community and Conservation Initiatives. Whether it is painting a crèche, conducting school children's awareness safaris, or a conservation fundraising drive, Leopard Mountain tries to support as much as possible.

Join us in this extremely rewarding journey and help preserve our natural resources for future generations. Speak to our bookings team about what conservation activities are available to be part of during your Leopard Mountain Journey.  Or visit and donate to the Rhino Orphanage and be part of the future of our Rhinos in South Africa – safeguarding these iconic animals that are an intrinsic part of our African Landscape.
